Microsoft Teams is undergoing a complete overhaul. The app has been redesigned and the new version is faster, simpler and more flexible thanks to an improved architecture and innovative AI-based features.
In 2017, Microsoft created Teams to bring all communication and collaboration tools together in one application. Today, more than 280 million people use Teams every month to stay productive and connected to their professional and personal environments.
A new preview of Microsoft Teams for Windows has just been released. With this update, you can look forward to better team communication and collaboration, thanks to innovative features and a redesigned architecture.
MICROSOFT TEAMS REDESIGNED FOR EASIER AND INTUITIVE USE
Microsoft has come up with a new architecture for its applications that significantly improves its speed and performance. The developers worked with GigaOm, a company that specializes in benchmarking, to measure the impact of this innovation. The results are impressive: Teams starts up twice as fast and meetings load in half.
Microsoft Teams has been redesigned to be easier and more intuitive to use. Notifications, finding information, and managing messages and groups have been simplified to improve user efficiency and productivity.
TEAMS GETS SMARTER: AI AT THE SERVICE OF YOUR PRODUCTIVITY
Microsoft has developed the new version of Teams with a variety of usage scenarios in mind. Now you can stay connected to all activity with instant notifications without disconnecting and reconnecting multiple accounts and structures.
Finally, Teams will deliver new AI-based capabilities such as Intelligent Recap and Microsoft 365 Copilot. With these new features, you'll get real-time updates on everything that's happening before you join a meeting, and you can easily answer questions as you follow up on the conversation.
This new version of Teams will be rolling out later this year. In the meantime, Microsoft is encouraging customers using Windows to try out the preview builds available today. This preview will soon be extended to more users, including those using macOS.
